UNITE AND STAND FIRM!

The building trades throughout the country are preparing for a vigorous Spring campaign, and, if the signs of the times are worth considering it is safe to say they will not back down or be fright ened by the legal intimidation the mas ter builders seem so bent upon using. With the mistake, of the past before their eyes, we know the workmen will stand united as one man. and in spite of all the traps that may be set for them, they will win the day. Unite and be firm must be their watchword Re member the day Is at hand when the producer of wealth must enjoy his just share of what he creates. Our local building trades are not behind their brothers in New York and other cities; they, too, are dressing up their ranks and. when the battle begins, they will be found fighting in the front line. If they should find themselves hard pressed du- ring the any stage of the coming conflict, let them rely upon it they will have the united support of all other labor organ iXatinnS
